If you or someone you love is under investigation or formally charged with drug cultivation you will need a San Francisco drug cultivation attorney who will stand up for you. Cultivation typically involves marijuana, which is a drug listed as a schedule 1 controlled substance by the federal government. Cultivation is often committed by use of sophisticated marijuana grow rooms within homes, businesses, warehouses, outbuildings, and other hidden outdoor locations often found on farms or in between mountain ranges.
Cultivation may be charged when a person plants, grows, cultivates, nurtures, harvests, dries, and/or processes marijuana seeds and plants with the intent to sell. It is often discovered by law enforcement by use of surveillance and by monitoring a person’s utility bills. When it is discovered that a person is cultivating even just one single small plant of marijuana they can be formally charged with an automatic federal felony offense. Then depending on the circumstances whether or not the cultivation occurred near a school or any other designated “drug free” area a person can receive a mandatory federal prison sentence.
